"Today we are talking about backyard safety. If you have a jacuzzi in your home it is important to remember that it is a dangerous body of water, like any body of water if you have small children. You really want to be sure you invest in a cover that locks and that a child that is actually childproof that way little one does not run any risk of going outside and falling into the jacuzzi. You also want to be sure that you keep in mind that accidents can happen even to adults in a jacuzzi. Make sure that you remember that you should always stay hydrated and that you should not stay in there to long. Certainly not so long that you become drowsy or at all dizzy. You really want to keep in mind especially if you are out in the jacuzzi by yourself that you can get over heated and so you want to stay well hydrated and take a break in between if you want to stay out there for a while, go ahead and step out for a couple of minutes. Also, for anybody with long hair you want to be sure that you tie it back, there are many cases of people actually getting their hair stuck in the jets and being pulled under and it is really hard to break that, to untangle the hair from the jet and so you want to be sure that you do not have any accidents like that, because that is a drowning hazard. So remember a jacuzzi can be a very relaxing way to spend some time but be sure that you keep it safe for everybody to enjoy."
